However, to get back the FarStar, which was impounded upon arrival, the crew realize they need the support of the President, Chandra Hobat. However, due to political infighting, she cannot openly support them due to a rival Senator, Sho'ban Do. At the suggestion of Sal Olbeg, members of the FarStar crew travel to Pitann to investigate Do's ties with a droid combat ring. On Pitann, they learn that Do is secretly plotting a coup against the Kathol Republic, using the droid combat games as a means of covering his development of a remote control program to take control of all the droids within the Republic. By convincing his chief programmer, Uta T'Cha to provide evidence against Do, the crew of the FarStar expose his plan and regain their ship.
